Synopsis
Oil spill is a cry from the species, a surge of survival in the face of the elements.
A last breath of life before being swept away by the Earth, or perhaps conversely, a fight to hold on against all odds before extinction.
A poignant film directed by the Quebec choreographer Chantal Caron with the St. Lawrence River as a backdrop.

Synopsis

Since 2010, Parthenais has been home to an entire queer community.
They are gay, lesbian, trans and live together in the Centre-Sud district in the heart of Montreal, in a triplex that is falling into disrepair.
Between parties that sometimes welcome over two hundred people until the wee hours of the morning, collective suppers, great joys and small despairs, this old apartment has transformed the lives of its tenants.
Twelve years later, the building was bought by a wealthy family who wanted to live there, as gentrification was the order of the day.
It’s the end of a mythical space that transformed a decade of Montreal’s queer scene.
The boxes are too small to contain all the stories that took place within these walls.
ÉVICTION is the story of this page turning, as distraught residents look for a new place to call home in the midst of a housing crisis and land speculation.
